My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

In Hongdu, in a secluded house, Fu Pei listened to his subordinates' report and sneered repeatedly, "Possessed by evil spirits? Ghosts? That's utterly absurd!"

Huang Tao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "But... we were indeed trapped in those rooms. We couldn't get out, and we couldn't get into the inner rooms. We could only move around in those rooms. It was like there was an invisible wall blocking us, and we couldn't get out no matter what..."

"You still dare to talk!" Fu Pei was so angry he almost laughed. "If there really was something fishy going on, why didn't he kill you? Why let you spout nonsense here? How did I end up raising a bunch of brainless good-for-nothings? You've clearly been tricked."

Is it really just a case of being wronged by others?

Huang Tao unconsciously glanced at Cui Heng, wanting to see what he was thinking. Cui Heng was also looking at Huang Tao, both of them filled with suspicion.

What kind of magic is so powerful?

How come they've never heard of it before?

Fu Pei ignored the two and sneered, "I thought he was a docile dog, but I didn't expect him to be a wolf. To find such an accomplice, it seems the other party has quite a background!"

Cui Heng pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts and asked, "Sir, does that mean we've been exposed?"

Huang Tao followed Fu Pei's line of thought and continued, "If we have really fallen into their trap this time, then they must know some kind of evil magic."

Such talents are bound to be few and far between.

Cui Heng frowned and said, "Who has such great ability to find such a person to work for him?"

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent.

Fu Pei unconsciously started thinking about his brothers. The more he thought about it, the deeper his brows furrowed. He felt that none of them were honest and that anyone could be a threat.

But based on his understanding, the strongest among them was undoubtedly Fu Ci. Could it be Fu Ci?

Has he already become suspicious of me? Has he silently cut off my source of income, hoping to ruin my plans?

Is he still the fourth son?

Or perhaps it's that low-key Fu Laowu, who's actually quite cunning in the shadows?

He couldn't figure out which of his brothers it was for the time being, so he could only put it aside for now and plan to try to find out later.

"Go check if anyone went to the Chen family today. There should be houses around there. Change your clothes and quietly go and inquire, without arousing suspicion."

Fu Pei suppressed his anger and said, "You will be punished for your poor performance this time, but the matter is urgent now, so I will let you off the hook for now. You can receive your punishment later."

Huang Tao, Cui Heng, and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed in gratitude.

Fu Pei said coldly, "There will be no next time!"

"Don't worry, sir, there won't be a next time! We will definitely get things done this time."

After leaving the house, Huang Tao and the others went to the Chen family's residence again.

Seeing that everything inside was gone, Cui Heng said, "Could it be that we really have been tricked, just as Master said?"

Huang Tao didn't say anything. When he came back to the house, he was still a little scared thinking about his previous experience.

He tentatively stepped over the threshold that he had previously been unable to cross no matter what.

This time I stepped over it with ease, as if everything before had been an illusion.

He looked at Cui Heng and said, "What kind of magic do you think is so powerful? It can bewitch so many of us?"

There were four of them at the time.

So many people, and they all had the same reaction. He simply couldn't imagine what kind of evil magic could be so powerful as to bewitch so many of them.

Cui Heng couldn't imagine it either.

He said, "Let's go take a look first."

The inner room, like the outer room, was completely emptied, leaving no extra tables, chairs, or benches behind.

"Did they come back after we left?" Huang Tao looked around and asked, "Or did they not leave before, and only left after we left?"

"Moving so much stuff around will definitely cause quite a stir. Let's go ask around."

Cui Heng and Huang Tao, along with their men, began to inquire about the surrounding area.

But the surrounding residents said they had never seen the Chen family transporting large quantities of things out.

Huang Tao asked if he had seen a carriage enter the Chen family's house that morning, and an old lady said she had seen it.

But when Huang Tao asked her if she had noticed when the carriage left and where it went, the old lady said she hadn't noticed and didn't know when it left.

Seeing Huang Tao constantly asking about the Chen family, the old woman asked curiously, "Did they do something wrong?"

Huang Tao said, "No, it's just that I had something to ask them, but when I came back today, I found that their whole family had moved. I hadn't heard a word about it beforehand. I wanted to ask you if you know if they usually associate with any special people?"

The old lady didn't believe Huang Tao's words.

If they hadn't done anything wrong, why would they be asking about their family's usual interactions with other people?

The Chen family must have offended someone.

They ran away before the man could come looking for them.

However, since the other party is unwilling to say, it must be a matter of keeping it a secret. Perhaps the Chen family has offended some powerful figure.

The old woman was worried for Chengjia. She pretended to believe Huang Tao's words and thought about it carefully before saying, "His family just moved here not long ago. I heard that his son is successful and they are doing well."

I didn't see them associating with anyone, and I'm not familiar with their family, so I don't know much about them.

Huang Tao then inquired in detail about the number of people in his family and whether there were any unusual circumstances.

After realizing that they couldn't get any useful information from the old lady, they left with their men.

That day, the two visited all the residents in the neighborhood and searched the house where the Chen family lived countless times, but they still couldn't figure out how the Chen family had managed to move so many things away without alerting anyone.

Unable to figure it out, the two could only report the current situation to Fu Pei and ask him to make a decision.

When Fu Pei heard about the Chen family's situation, his brows furrowed so deeply they could have trapped a fly.

Although he couldn't figure out how the other party had done it, he became even more certain of Huang Jiayu's betrayal.

He slammed his fist on the table in anger, "It was all planned by him all along!"

Ji Yunshuang simply used her telekinetic powers to sweep through the Chen family's belongings as usual, casually moving them all into her spatial storage.

Little did she know that her move made Huang Jiayu even more firmly burdened with the blame for betraying Fu Pei.

At this moment, she was leisurely drinking tea in brocade. She planned to send Chen Wu's family to the cave in a couple of days.

Although the children in the cave are all very sensible, they are still just children. It would be safer to leave a few adults there.

Chen Wu has already attracted attention from all sides and is a prominent figure. It is not convenient for him to show his face everywhere for the time being, but he can help her farm in the space.

Whether he can be of other use in the future remains to be seen, we'll have to wait and see how he performs!

Ji Yunshuang was pondering this when she took another sip of tea and heard a knock on the door.

Zhao Jingru stood outside the door and asked softly, "Sister-in-law Lu, is that you?"

Ji Yunshuang got up and opened the door, smiling at her as she said, "It's me. You're still up so late?"
